- Many states have one superintendent for a
county as opposed to one superintendent for every town or district.
- You hear New Jersey superintendents
complaining about salary caps, saying that $167,500 or $191,000 is not
enough. Not long ago, they were earning
teachers’ salaries. You would think they
would be appreciative for what they are earning today. They aren’t leaving Wall St. to manage small
districts.
